what is flexbox
#
Loqi
Flexbox (or CSS Flexible Box Layout) is a CSS layout model for aligning and distributing space among items in a container https://indieweb.org/flexbox
#

what is flex
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "flex" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "flex is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor
Second paragraph could still use updates. Content is from 2015 when it was newer

gRegor
Thinking of Macromedia Flex? :D
#
[Joe_Crawford]
hah! no!
#
[Joe_Crawford]
But I was thinking about Macromedia Contribute the other day.
#

#
gRegor
What were you thinking for /flex?
#
[Joe_Crawford]
more wondering if anyone would shorten flexbox to flex
#
[Joe_Crawford]
I mean, `display: flex` is how it's invoked

I think I've referred to it as flex before

GWG, are you starting the meeting today?

We can always change it if someone creates a new post type to boast about things

flex << to-do: needs IndieWeb-relevance in dfn (IndieWeb is not Wikipedia), and in content
#
Loqi
ok, I added "to-do: needs IndieWeb-relevance in dfn (IndieWeb is not Wikipedia), and in content" to the "See Also" section of /flexbox https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=94987&oldid=94983
#
[tantek]
weird, looks like the HWC Global day change didn't refresh in Google Calendar
#
[tantek]
still shows yesterday for me
#
[tantek]
how do I debug https://events.indieweb.org/ics/tag/hwc ? when I go to it in a browser I get HTML (which is sensible). how do I say "no, please give me the ICS so I can look at it" without curl etc.?
#
[tantek]
can anyone check the ICS at https://events.indieweb.org/ics/tag/hwc to see if it has the right date/time for the HWC Global today? I'm not seeing it in Google Calendar, even after removing it (unsubscribing) and re-adding it (subscribing)

[tantek]: That's exactly the kind of situations that make me think that no, content negotiation is not sensible 😦

conneg-- in honor of [snarfed]. yes pcarrier, not being able to verify/test things is a reason to avoid conneg without some sort of way to say, no really, show me what you are sending other UAs
#
Loqi
conneg has -1 karma in this channel over the last year (-22 in all channels)

I have not figured out how to get Google calendar to update data in an ics feed
#
aaronpk
It seems to never update an event it discovers in the ics feed once it sees it once
#
[tantek]
aaronpk, how does it know it is the "same" event?
#
[tantek]
are you giving the events unique IDs (a UID: ICS property) or only their permalink URLs ?
#
pcarrier
Am I missing something?
#
[campegg]
pcarrier, #indieweb-chat history is not logged—think of it as an off-the-record space
#
[tantek]
^ capjamesg, I feel like that's been asked and you have answered that enough times that it belongs in /discuss#FAQ
#
aaronpk
Should probably add it to the channel topic in Discord since people don't read that far
#
capjamesg
We say history has been turned off as the first words in the description.
#
IWDiscord
<c​apjamesg>
#
capjamesg
Happy to make more changes.
#
aaronpk
Maybe "history turned off" isn't clear enough, since that sounds more like a discord setting name than a user-level description
#
capjamesg
"Messages expire when you refresh the page."?
#
aaronpk
That's clearer IMO
#
capjamesg
Changed thusly.

#
aaronpk
oh and yes I'm setting a "unique ID" property of the event in the ics. Should I just change that ID when the event is updated?
#
aaronpk
ok just pushed fixes to events.indieweb.org for this and removed conneg from the ics URLs
#
[tantek]
aaronpk++ thank you!
#
Loqi

#
[Joe_Crawford]
aaronpk++ gotten multiple feedback in the last few days that the tag-based event calendars on events dot indieweb are important for folks interested in Front End Study Hall... so thanks for that! (whether you implemented all that or are the current caretaker or both I'm so glad it works!)
#
aaronpk
oh good, glad that is useful!

aaronpk, the fix worked. my gCal has updated (past now, but still) to show the proper HWC Global even for today at 11am CEST
#
[tantek]
event* for today
#
aaronpk
oh good
